"Don't worry. Once things settle down, I'll ask what he wants. If he truly wants to be a pampered young heir, I'll make him one of the finest pampered heirs in the Great Thousand World."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Back then, he too had been one of the most privileged heirs on the Dou Qi Continent. Beneath the Emperor's Son's glamorous exterior, however, he had indeed endured many trials.
"Mm. In that case, let's leave the choice to the child himself."
Qing Yanjing nodded slightly and said nothing more.
In truth, this was already an excellent situation for a young man. Whether he chose the path of the strong or the life of a pampered heir, he had two powerful parents to fall back on, giving him the best possible choices.
By comparison, the vast majority of young people in this world had no room to choose at all. They could not become pampered heirs simply because they wanted to, nor could they walk the path of the strong just because they wished it.
Apart from a handful whose talents underwent extraordinary changes or who found special opportunities that let them break free, most could only drift a little above or below their parents' social standing.
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Feng finally emerged again from the courtyard beside them. He looked toward Qing Yanjing, then gave a bitter smile, conflicting emotions on his face. "Miss Qing, go over and explain things to him properly first."
Qing Yanjing nodded slightly at his words and said with a soft smile, "Thank you."
Only after Qing Yanjing left this courtyard did Mu Feng slowly sit down on another stone stool inside it. His gaze swept over Xiao Yan, and their eyes met. Mu Feng merely gave him a perfunctory nod.
